So, as we all know, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 have both only been on the market a short time, but rumor has it that Microsoft may already be getting ready to release an OS update that supersedes both to an extent, called Windows Blue, and it may even replace Windows 8 in just a few months...

How can someone hate Monopoly? its one of the best games i have played on my iPad. You can play it alone, you can play it with friends. I have never played such an addicting game.,i just cant stop playing it.

I think it's not an update from Win 8.
Maybe Windows Blue is just another OS which is looks so much like Win 8 but less feature. Offered for free, so everyone can try to love the looks of Win 8. Then, they'll trapped buying Win 8.

I bought a decent Gaming Computer with intel quadcore i5 processor, nvidia 620 graphics card, 8gb ram, expanable to 32, 1TB of memory, and a really awesome cooling system all for 600 dollars. Too bad it's running Windows 8, I have had nothing but issues with the OS and I have only had it for 2 days now.

It's a decent gaming computer for the price. People think you have to have the best of the best but you can't always have that if you cant afford it. My favorite spot to get the best for cheapest is newegg. Some like tiger derect I think it's called but I like new egg. You can go there and yes if you build from scratch and build it yourself you probley can get a better computer for that price but what you got it is not that bad of a computer. I think one of the important part is getting motherboard that can be upgraded easily. I got a slim line gateway computer thinking I could upgrade it wich the instruction say you can but the problem was is I could not get a power supply box that alowed me to upgrade any thing and no memory chip would go into the machine without an error. So even though you might have got a decent computer make sure it can me upgraded easily.
Also pay no attention to people that make fun of your coment or somthing you bought without actually giving a reason why and a alternative of something better. Those comments are of no help and I think should be moderated out of the coment section because it's just as bad as trolling.

I might be in the minority....but I think MS is moving too fast on the desktop side.

Look how long XP was around and allowed to become one of the most stables OS's Microsoft has. IMO....Vista was given up on too quick. If it wasnt for trying to keep up with MS I would still be running Vista now. Look how fast Win 7 came out. Then 8.

Many might not know it, but when XP first came out, it was considered a mess. All these years later and its considered on of their best OS's. XP really didnt get better until Service Pak 2.

Microsoft might wanna try their best to push everyone to windows 8 or blue or whatever they are going to call it but I do agree that they need to polish and make their latest OS as stable and user friendly as possible but they seem to just wanna jump to the next OS. I cant blame anyone for sticking with XP.

I don't think it's that long of a time and they do update there OS a lot with updates coming out all the time it just does not seem like it because like android they don't come out with versions like 4.1 to 4.2 they just come out with security updates as soon as there ready and it does not make it windows 8.1 or anything just updated version of the same system. I think the main goal was to integrate all platforms and if it works wich I hope it does it will make there tablet and phone sectors grow fast because a lot of people still use windows and it will make it so you will want a windows phone maybe. Pluse even though I still am loving android I am excited about trying my hands on a windows phone. If verizon would have got a lumia 920 or whatever it is called instead of the 820 I would have got it. I here it is an amazing phone. Especially when it comes to the hardware involved besides the processor. It has a amazing camera and recording capabilities

ok i know i might get some strife for this but XP is no longer amazing. True its still usable but the support for it and what you can do with it versus the current is far and far between. Just like the first xbox or the playstation one or even the first android device, its time to put certain things to bed and move on.

I'm going to be completely honest. Xp needs to die. This morning I didnt wake up because I was up all night playing fifa 2013 on my alienware laptop running windows 8. Now i'm at work using xp on my office computer and the difference is jarring. You actually miss snapping windows and universal search is much better in 8. Not to mention that new programs dont have xp support. I've gotten used to office 2013 and skydrive. I have 25gb on my skydrive but only 2gb on my dropbox. You miss a lot of things. Little things like changing wallpaper. Anybody who defends xp is the last person I would take tech advice from. My only problem with 8 is that the minimum screen size is mandatory if you want windows 8 apps and they removed native wireless adhoc creation. Windows 8 is not perfect but it is better than 7 and lightyears ahead of xp. I welcome windows blue

I have a dual boot setup with 2 seperate hard drives. I have no problems getting files from the other hard drive thru XP. Win 7? Permission errors, issues left n right trying to get files from the other drive. Kept getting a file not found error, turned out it was permissions. I cant get permissions to set right doing the whole folder, I have to do each file seperate that I come across.

Its just a more familar UI. Some things I had to play around with and search for to figure out. XP was the same way when it first came out. Many ppl stuck with Win 98 for a while. The UI changed a lil from Vista to Win 7 and it is a learning curve some what even from Vista.

By default, Win 7 asks for comfirming anything that might need admin rights. XP is just more open. Is Win Vista, 7 more secure? Maybe....but XP is more install n go with lil to no nagging.

I'm all for progress, thats why I just installed 7 over my Vista install. And Vista wasnt giving me any issues. I just didnt feel like doing all the lil tweaks to Vista to get it to perform and be as stable as 7.I did some, but I didnt feel like researching more. But I will keep XP in a dual boot until all the software I use the most is confirmed to work as good or better on 7.

2 things: I dont think we can compare first gen game consoles to OS's that we do critical things on. And I dont knock anyone for using a dual core or single core PC. I wouldnt knock someone just for having a preference for XP. Anyone thats into tech knows its never a one size fits all scenario.

Wanted to add that after my first week with Win 7....I am impatiently waiting to see what else I want n need from my XP install so I can go full Win 7....lol Lots of lil changes I didnt really notice with Vista, may have been there in Vista too. Only issues I had was permissions and hard drive space. Got those 2 figured out and I'm good now.

XP is still a good OS tho. Browsers seems more stable on XP. Could be 32bit vs 64bit OS, dont really know.
